CROSSED VOLUME 1 TP (NEW PRINTING)
(W) Garth Ennis (A/CA) Jacen Burrows
Garth Ennis has pulled out all the stops to write the most depraved and twisted book of his career, one that also may be his most poignant human drama! Crossed is Ennis' horrifically visceral exploration of the pure evil that humans are truly capable of indulging and collected here are all ten heart-stopping chapters. This gut-wrenching vision is brought to vivid (and more than a little disturbing) life by his partner in crime Jacen Burrows. Imagine, for a moment, the worst crimes against humanity. Picture the cruelest affronts to decency. Conjure your darkest nightmares… and then realize it could all be so much worse. When civilization crumbles in one terrifying moment; when people are gleefully breaking into unthinkable acts of violence all around you; when everyone you love has died screaming in agony: What do you do? There is no help. There is no hope. There is no escape. There are only the Crossed. The Crossed collected volume is available in three editions, all with new covers by series artist Jacen Burrows.

CROSSED VOLUME 2: FAMILY VALUES TP
(W) David Lapham (A) Javier Barreno (CA) Jacen Burrows
All seven issues of David Lapham's horror masterpiece of Crossed: Family Values are collected here with a large cover gallery! In one terrifying moment, civilization crumbled. An outbreak of insanity swept across the planet, turning millions of people into the homicidal maniacs known as "the Crossed." But from their isolated horse ranch, the Pratt family of North Carolina remain uninfected and defiant. Bonded together as generations of working, living, and learning together, they rely on Joe, the family patriarch, to see them through the apocalypse. But the Pratt family has a deep, dark secret – one that threatens to tear them apart, even under the constant threat of the murderous hordes. See, some men are turned to Crossed, but others… others are just born evil. Eighteen year-old daughter Adaline will soon discover which breed is worse. David Lapham, the critically acclaimed creator of the gritty STRAY BULLETS series, delivers a tale so twisted, so shocking, it more than earns its place next to the original runaway bestseller, CROSSED VOLUME 1, by superstar writer Garth Ennis! Available in softcover and hardcover formats, with illustrated covers by Jacen Burrows (Alan Moore's NEONOMICON) Also available in a special Signed Hardcover by writer David Lapham that is limited to just 1000 copies.

CROSSED VOLUME 3: PSYCHOPATH TP
(W) David Lapham (A/CA) Raulo Caceres
The long-awaited third volume of Crossed is finally here, collecting all seven issues of the Psychopath series by David Lapham and artist Raulo Caceres! In one terrifying moment, civilization crumbled. An outbreak of insanity swept across the planet, turning millions of people into the scarred homicidal maniacs known as "the Crossed." For one small band of survivors, the discovery of a starving, injured man in the desert seems like an unexpected blessing. He knows where they could be safe: the location of the last holdout of the scientific community, where the military offers protection and the cure to the Crossed plague is being developed. But Harold Lorre is not the savior they hope him to be. He's a calculating, lethal man whose mind was dangerously unhinged even before the world went mad. Surrounded by marauding hordes, their nerves shattered by unending fear, the group fall victim to the manipulations and deadly perversions of a psychopath. Writer David Lapham, the critically acclaimed creator of Stray Bullets, returns to the universe of Crossed with a descent into evil so far beyond what you could possibly imagine. Available in three editions: as a TPB or Hardcover with new covers by series artist Raulo Caceres and also a Signed Hardcover, with a new Caceres cover, signed by writer David Lapham and limited to just 1000 copies!

Variant Cover by David Aja
Variant Cover by Neal Adams
It's a globetrotting quest for the Valiant Universe's greatest secrets, from the New York Times bestselling team of Fred Van Lente (Amazing Spider-Man, Marvel Zombies) and Clayton Henry (Uncanny X-Men)!
Obadiah Archer was born and raised to cherish three things above all else: the faith of his parents, the love of his 22 brothers and sisters, and his lifelong mission to defeat the ultimate evildoer. Now, after years of training, Archer has been dispatched to the heart of America's festering modern day Babylon, aka New York City, to root out and kill this infamous Great Satan. Unfortunately, dying has never been easy for Archer's target — the hard-drinking, 10,000-year-old immortal known as Armstrong. Together, this unlikely pair of heroes is about to stumble headfirst into a centuries-old conspiracy that will bring the whole of ancient history crashing down on the modern day Valiant Universe. And that's going to mean one Hell of a hangover.

Variant Cover by Patrick Zircher
Welcome to the Harbinger Foundation. Class is now in session.
Throughout his whole life, Peter Stanchek has been confused by his strange powers and their effect on those closest to him. Now, having abandoned everything he knows, Peter has escaped to the confines of Toyo Harada's Harbinger Foundation where his new training will temper his body, torture his mind and reawaken the horrors of his past. But is all of this truly giving Peter more control over his power? Or simply making him far more dangerous than he's ever been before?

BLOODSHOT #2
Written by Duane SwierczynskI
Art by Manuel Garcia & Arturo Lozzi
Cover by Arturo Lozzi
Variant Cover by Andy Brase
Waking up inside a body bag is no way to start the day.
But that's where you are, and worse yet, you're 35,000 feet above the desert, guarded by the some of the toughest soldiers on the planet. You're being flown back to the people who created you, who may have even betrayed you. You're having a hard time separating your false memories (of family, duty, country) from the grim reality (of bullets, blood, screaming). Who's really on your side? Why were you created? Where does the "real you" end and the programming begin? There's only one way to find out — by reaching up and zipping open this bag. And God have mercy on anyone who comes face-to-face with the weapon — no, the man — no, the soldier — known only as Bloodshot.
